Steam engine pollution

Howdy folks.

What's with the steam engine pollution? Shouldn't all the pollution come from the boilers?

I'm thinking about this with nuclear power in mind, where there is next to no pollution, but the power is still produced by pushing steam through a steam engine.

Steam engines are totally clean. You can test this by running a hot water pipe to a pollution-free area and hooking up a steam engine.

Oh! Excellent.

Yeah, the clouds are what threw me off. At least it's an easy fix to comment out the smoke from the steam engine.

Thanks!
